Hello and welcome to another edition of Inside The Newsroom, home to more journalism opportunities than any other newsletter in the world.
Last week we talked about how hard work is not undefeated. This week I want to talk about a line I heard recently that stopped me mid-scroll: the worst thing to happen to you is the worst thing.
It's important to preface this as not being a competition, nor as “other people have it harder.” Instead, it's an important self baseline to live by. If you’ve lived through your worst — or you’re living through it now — you have a reference point most daily problems don’t deserve. That doesn’t mean small things don’t matter. It means we often treat ordinary friction like catastrophe because we quickly forgot the scale.
I’ve done it. A delayed flight becomes a personal insult. A rude email ruins a day. A professional setback feels like identity collapse, until you remember something that actually broke something inside you, and still survived. The worst thing teaches a strange kind of clarity: most other things are manageable. Not easy. Not fair. But not the end.
Journalism tests our baseline every day, but not always in the obvious way. It isn’t only that you’re surrounded by other people’s worst stories, it's that the job trains us to live at high alert: everything is urgent, everything is consequential, everything demands an immediate response. Over time, we start to treat ordinary setbacks in our own lives as emergencies, because our nervous systems constantly run in crisis mode. Or we go the other way, and minimize what's actually wrong, because it doesn't look "bad enough" alongside what you've just reported on.
Neither is clarity. Both are a kind of drift. The work is to carry empathy for what’s catastrophic in the world without losing proportion in the life you still have to live — your rent, your health, or your peace of mind still matters. With that, let's keep things in proportion and have a good week.
